Jenny Lewis is joined by M. Ward, Ben Gibbard, and Conor Oberst in this 2005 remake of the 1988 hit song originally performed by supergroup, The Traveling Wilburys. Actually I don't even know if you could call it a "hit." It only reached #45 on the Billboard charts.

Have I told you lately that I love Roy Orbison? I was ten years old when he died. I didn't really understand death at the time outside of my aquarium fatalities. He was the first rock and roll death I can remember and I remember thinking Heart attacks were really "bad."

Jenny Lewis and Gang

The Traveling Wilburys

Been beat up and battered roundBeen sent up, and Ive been shot downYoure the best thing that Ive ever foundHandle me with care

Im so tired of being lonelyI still have some love to giveWont you show me that you really careEverybodys got somebody to lean onPut your body next to mine, and dream on

Ive been fobbed off, and Ive been fooledIve been robbed and ridiculedIn day care centers and night schoolsHandle me with care

Been stuck in airports, terrorizedSent to meetings, hypnotizedOverexposed, commercializedHandle me with careIve been uptight and made a messBut I'll clean it up myself, I guessOh, the sweet smell of successHandle me with care
